RAILROAD GARDENING. 



An excellent and practical paper on 

 the comparative value of hardy peren- 

 nial and tender plants in railroad gar- 

 dening was read at the annual con- 

 vention of the Railroad Gardeners' As- 

 sociation at Philadelphia by Patrick 

 Foy, gardener for the Norfolk and 

 Western R. R., Roanoke, Va. 



Mr. Foy advocated the use of hardy 

 plants as almost a necessity, from the 

 fact that in the past twenty years 

 railroad mileage has so increased, and 

 property adjacent thereto has been so 

 improved that were these grounds to 

 depend on their plants for their 

 adornment a great deal of it would be 

 allowed to remain unadorned. He 

 called attention to the fact that some 

 of the most beautiful plants and 

 shrubs that grow most luxuriantly in 

 the southern states will not thrive in 

 the northern states nor in the great 

 northwest, so the fellow whose lot is 

 cast in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts 

 or New York, or out in some of the 

 north-western states is deprived of 

 the enjoyment of having in his collec- 

 tion the majestic Magnolia grandi- 

 tlora, the beautiful Crepe Myrtle and 

 the sweet scented Cape Jasmine, and 

 the grandest of all climbing roses, the 

 Marechal Xiel rose, and many other 

 things which are at the disposal of the 

 gardener in a more favored clime. He 

 recommended the planting with hardy 

 decorative plants all station grounds 

 away from headquarters and of less 

 importance, and that pi'ominent cen- 

 ters by all means be planted with both 

 tender and hardy plants. 



KANSAS CITY'S PARK SYSTEM. 



Under the provisions of the law 

 which permits this city to issue $150,- 

 000 in bonds for the acquisition of land 

 tor public parks, the park commission- 

 ers have just issued $45,000 worth of 

 bonds. Out of the proceeds, land is to 

 be purchased or condemned for arti- 

 ficial lakes, sunken gardens and a 

 parkway from Washington boulevard 

 and Tenth street to Tauromee avenue 

 and Eleventh street. In addition, two 

 playgrounds and a small park are to 

 be provided. 



In the development of Kansas City, 

 the board of park commissioners are 

 giving attention to a system of boule- 

 vards. Engineers are now laying out 

 a clifl: drive to follow the Kaw river 

 bluffs; extensions of the boulevards in 

 the heart of the city also are pro- 

 posed. 



In addition to the permission to bor- 

 row $150,000 for the acquisition' of 

 lands, the municipal authorities can 

 levy a one-half mill assessment for the 

 maintenance and improvement of the 

 park system. This amounts to $35,000 

 a year. 



Much of the land taken for park pur- 

 poses is low priced property, and the 

 municipality is saving money by pur- 

 chasing the ground at present. George 

 E. Kessler, who designed the park and 

 boulevard system of Kansas City, Mis- 

 souri, is supervising the work here. 

 One of the active promoters of the im- 

 provement is The Mercantile Club, 

 which is one of the affiliated organiza- 

 tions of the American Civic Associa- 

 tion.

 is loaded with brilliant fruit this year.
